Chessy Shumai

Have you ever have cheesy shumai as Dim Sum delicacy in Chinese restaurant?.I bet you don't have the chance yet!.Never mind,here I come to share with you my own simple and easy cheesy shumai recipe.Don't worried if you don't have the skill to wrap or make the shape as what it's serve in the Dim Sum restaurant,I have a special tool to help you!!Here come East Meet the West version!

Ingredients:

500 gm minced pork

10 clean and deviened minced shrimp or cut small

1 tsp white pepper

1 tsp oyster sauce

1 tsp sugar

1 tbsp sesame oil

1 egg white

1 stalk scallion

1 tbsp cornstarch

1 sliced kraft yellow cheese(cut cube)

15 sheet wanton wrapper(round)

Method:

1:Prepared a large bowl and mixed well above ingredients except cheese and wanton wrapper

2:Take each wanton wrapper and wrap around your palm with the meat filling,about 2 tsp each wrapping.

3:Use candle holder to hold your shumai as show below.Arrange your wrapper evenly around the candle holder

4:Prepare a pot with rolling boil water at high heat with a double boiler.Steam shumai for 10 -15 minutes.

5:Place each cut cheese cube on the shumai and steam for another 2-3 minutes.Remove the candle holder slowly without breaking the fragile shumai wrapper.Ready to serve warm.

I used candle holder as the mold,isn't a great idea?.I don't have to worried if the shumai going to get out of shape or deflated.
Remember to clean your used candle holder with hot water before use.
I used my double boiler pot to steam the shumai.You can use any pot or wok with lid as long as the candle holder doesn't touch the rolling boil waterNote:

You can replaced minced pork with beef,turkey ,chicken or only shrimp for shumai.Remember,you must get round shape wanton wrapper not the square!!If you like deep dried shumai,mix the cheese with the ingredients and don't steam too long.Throw into clean hot oil until golden brown.Serve it hot with mustard!.Enjoy!!
